LengthIndexedLine uses numeric lengths modelled as double values.
LocationIndexedLine uses LinearLocations which carry more information
(such as the index of the segment the location occurs in).
LinearLocations provide faster access to the segment containing a given
index.
The classes are different because the return values of some of the
methods are incompatible.

I am trying to figure out what makes these classes different. Does the
LocationIndexedLine allow you to index a LineString with some other
quantity than length?
Thanks for any info.
